“I have found the Steel Market Update to be a valuable tool in my business. I tend to read it first because it consolidates information about the flat rolled market and eliminates unnecessary news. I have known John Packard for many years and feel very comfortable in his ability to gather and share market pricing and news. John’s steel experience provides a level of trust which is appreciated.” – Tom Cullen President Magic Coil Products
